Do you know if you are gong to DMB at Alpine? That’s all I need to know. As my wife tells me, I’m on a need to know basis.

I used to think that I was sooooo smart. Luckily, life has been gracious enough to slap me down from the delusion. Today, I'm still very interested in learning and investigating stuff I do not know, but I'd like to think that I now use my knowledge for good more than I do for evil. For example, I can usually carry on a conversation with almost everyone I meet, but I make sure I ask a lot of questions and let them talk about their favorite subjects. I find that things work out much better this way. : ) Still, I'm certain that my annoyance factor is still there. Do I get some points for recognizing this fact?
